Trains in WWII

Egads! A little subtitling once in a while would be a help

The last photo is what, Pushme-Pullyou?

 

Opppssss I forgot LOL. Polish WZ.34 halftrack. "wz. 34 halftrack truck with a rails-riding device. It was installed on a standard vehicle, and enabled riding on the rails. The car was driven normally by its tracks."

 

I did find it interesting though I really wonder how useful it was or really what purpose it was used for.

 

A nice shot of a Flak 38 on a gun car.

Now here is something I hadn't seen before and certainly shows the ability of the US.

Falkenberg,

Do you recommend any website dedicated to Soviet armored trains during WWII?I am fascinated by them ever since I read about how one unit under 1st LSSAH was stopped cold by one of those.

 

This must be during the early war stage right? When LSSAH was still a motorized infantry division?
